Demonic Cart (part 1)

At this moment, I find myself being sternly scolded by Grandma Melinda, while Shin and Grandpa Merlin are far away from us as they didn't want to get involved in this, as Grandma was quite frightening.

"Grandma, you don't need to worry. Yesterday, I couldn't make it back at night for many important reasons, and I had to go out today. I'm not out there flirting with every girl I see; I have important things to do," I said in a serious tone. I wasn't lying because spending time with the girls is essential; it's the least I can do to show them that I'm happy they're still loyal to me.

"Hmm... I know you have your own matters to attend to, but please, let us know first. We worry about you a lot," Grandma said, sighing, and looked at me as if she pitied me.

Seeing her like that, I just played along because I didn't want her to continue scolding me. It was like a lifeline I had found.

...

The next day, I was having lunch with the S-class guys in the school cafeteria.

"Is Cart on house arrest?" Shin asked, surprised. When I heard that, I knew one of the first major events of the anime was about to happen.

For some reason, right after classes ended, the research society had already started to move, and Shin was starting to act as its president. It was funny to see him act that way because it didn't suit him at all. You could imagine him as anything but a president.

"It seems so. This morning, they got in touch with the school, saying he'll spend some time at home under house arrest and self-reflection," August commented.

After that, they began talking and wondering why Cart had started to change his attitude since he wasn't so extreme some time ago, until Oliver Schtrom's name came up. When I heard his name, I started thinking about what I had seen in the anime and remembered a few things, along with his reasons for going crazy. Although I couldn't support his actions, I also didn't judge him because in his position, I might be even more extreme.

"By the way, Shin, you mentioned a 'Search Magic' a while ago. What exactly is it?" one of our classmates asked.

"Hmm? You're asking what it is? It's a way for me to immediately detect any ill intentions," Shin replied.

"Ill intentions?"

"Shin-dono, what the hell do you mean by that? To be able to sense ill intentions," Thor asked.

"It means exactly what it sounds like. In particular, because the Imperial Capital is highly populated, there are many people who are indifferent to each other. You can say that among those people, you can immediately detect if there are ill intentions coming from them. Hostility? Ill intentions? Even if they're not directed at you, normal humans can still feel it. No matter how large or safe the capital is, can you still feel it sometimes?" Shin tried to explain again.

"Demon magic power, you say... Does Walford-kun have any experience in hunting demons?" Rin asked.

"Yes, I have him, but I didn't kill him because Ryu did, since Ryu attacked him first," Shin said, pointing at me, and everyone looked at me.

"By the way... What age were you when you had your first experience in hunting a demon?" one of our classmates asked curiously.

"Ten years old, if I'm not mistaken."

When everyone heard that, they were quite surprised and looked at us as if we were monsters. In my case, I didn't pay much attention; I was just watching things unfold according to the original story.

After that brief moment, we finished lunch and headed to the school's practice room. But as soon as we left, both Shin and I felt a great deal of killing intent directed at us.

When we looked in the direction of the source, we could see Cart about to attack us.

"Everyone, be careful, guys, make sure to activate your suits quickly!" Shin said quickly.

Everyone was surprised by Shin's sudden warning until they realized that Cart was in the schoolyard about to attack them.

BOOM!

A loud explosion occurred where we were, but no one was hurt because I had placed a barrier that protected them all.

"Is everyone okay?" I asked.

"Yes, we're all fine, and you, Ryu?" Yuri replied, concerned.

"I'm fine, don't worry." I commented to calm her down, and then directed my attention to my brother. "Shin, the next time something like this happens you should be calmer, since because of your reaction you couldn't operate your magic properly, causing me to You will get hurt so be more careful next time."

"Is that... Cart over there?"

"Why!? Shouldn't he be on house arrest?"

Someone asked that question, and everyone wanted to know the answer. Besides that, it's a fact that this guy launched an offensive magic attack at us; that's a more serious issue.

"Gus, in this way, is there no way?" Shin said.

"That's right. Until now, there have only been failed attempts... But this time, it's clearly an assassination attempt. It cannot possibly be overlooked," August replied.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Shin? He attacked you with murderous intent, and not just you, but all of us. Do you really want to know if there is a way to fix it? Let me show you what you should do in these cases," I replied. a little annoyed by Shin's behavior.

"August and guys, you must pay attention from now on, since, even if you don't like it, perhaps in the future you will have to do the same, you must also serve as people who can verify everything that has happened in this place, you will be witnesses of how Cart has become a demon, but unlike the previous ones he has not completely lost consciousness." I said in a serious tone, since I was very upset that he tried to attack my girls.

"If that's the case, things are not simple at all!" August commented.

When everyone around heard the word 'demon,' they panicked and started running everywhere.

"Bastard... Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard!" Cart let out a scream as if he had gone insane and began enveloping himself with an extraordinary amount of magic power.

"Idiot," I whispered as I used nullification magic that dissipated his entire attack and created chains that immobilized him quickly. It was clear that each of the chains had great power because they didn't allow Cart to move in any way.

Then I approached him until I was a meter away and placed my finger on his head, which made him scream in pain because I was trying to extract information from him, although I already knew who was responsible, it would be very suspicious if I said it all of a sudden, so it was appropriate to do this.

"Who did this to you?" I asked in a tone of voice that everyone could hear.

"Ahhhhhh!" There were cries of immense pain coming from Cart, which I decided to ignore because since he first appeared, mistreating Secily, I knew I would make him suffer a little.

Everyone was very uncomfortable watching me act this way because it seemed like a different person from the one they knew, but at the same time, they were very attentive to his answer.

"Oliver Schtrom... Ahhhhhh!"

After hearing the name, I quickly made him suffer a little more to calm my anger, he was writhing fiercely while screaming in pain, and then I stabbed my hand into the part of his heart, piercing it without a moment's hesitation, after this action All my clothes were very bloody, which created a very strange sight.

Some of my classmates couldn't help but feel nauseous and went to a corner to vomit, and the same thing happened with the girls, while August and Shin tried to hold back their disgust as much as possible, but finally, they couldn't resist.
